Answer:

a. in order to calculate this we must assume that the economy entered a recession:

degree of operating leverage = [($20 - $70)/$70] / [($260 - $520)/$520] = -0.7143 / -0.5 = 1.43

b. $14 million

Explanation:

strong economy:

total sales $520 million

<u>variable costs $420 million</u>

gross profit $100 million

<u>fixed costs $30 million</u>

EBIT $70 million

<u>income taxes $21 million</u>

net income $49 million

weak economy:

total sales $260 million

<u>variable costs $210 million</u>

gross profit $50 million

<u>fixed costs $30 million</u>

EBIT $20 million

<u>income taxes $6 million</u>

net income $14 million

2. With sufficient detail, Discuss how materiality and risk are related and integrated into the audit
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Audit Risk and Materiality

These two concepts have an inverse relationship.  When the materiality level is set low, the audit risk envisaged by the auditor is on the high side.  When the materiality level is set high, the audit risk as perceived by the auditor is on the low side.

But, what exactly is materiality?  Materiality refers to the basis that can change or influence the judgment of a reasonable person arising from a quantitative and qualitative omission or misstatement of a fact.  And audit risk refers to the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements presented by a company.

Explanation:

The risk of material misstatement in the financial statements is the reason that professional auditors design their audit procedures to reduce the audit risk to an acceptably low level.  This implies that auditors gather more audit evidence when the materiality is set to a low level, showing that audit risk has increased and vice versa.

What’s cash discount
swat32

Cash discount is a reduction in total price of goods and services for prompt payment.

Explanation:

It is given to enhance prompt payment and to discourage trade credit.

Let's assume a Company offers some certain percentage of discount for prompt payment. A goods cost #100,000 for instance. And then for payment within 10 days, 20% discount will be given, payment between day 11 to 15 days of purchasing the goods 15% discount and payment within 16 to 20 days attracts 10%. It means any customer who pays within the first 10 days of purchasing the goods get a discount of #20,000 (i.e 20% of #100,000), hence pays #80,000 for the good. A payment within day 11 to 15 of purchase gets 15% discount, so is allowed only #15,000 (i.e 15% of #100,000), so pays #85,000 while payment made within day 16 to 20 of purchase attracts only #10,000 discount (i.e 10% of #100,000), so he pays only #90,000. No discount will be given to payment made above 20 days of purchase and the full #100,000 will be paid.

Cash discount is also called Early payment discount
